Consumer Information Sheet for Playground Surfacing Materials
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that about 100 000 playground
equipment-related injuries resulting from falls to the ground surface are treated annually in US
hospital emergency rooms. Injuries involving this hazard pattern tend to be among the most serious
of all playground injuries, and have the potential to be fatal, particularly when the injury is to the
head. The surface under and around playground equipment can be a major factor in determining
the injury-causing potential of a fall. It is self-evident that a fall onto a shock-absorbing surface is
less likely to cause a serious injury than a fall onto a hard surface. Playground equipment should
never be placed on hard surfaces, such as concrete or asphalt, and while grass may appear to be
acceptable, it may quickly turn to hard-packed earth in areas of high traffic. Shredded bark mulch,
wood chips, tine sand or the gravel are considered to be acceptable shock absorbing surfaces
when installed and maintained at a sufficient depth under and around playground equipment.
Table B.1 lists the maximum height from which a child would not be expected to sustain a life-
threatening head injury in a fall on to four different loose-fill surfacing materials if they are Installed
and maintained at depths of 150 mm, 225 mm and 300 mm.
TABLE B.1: Fall height in millimetres from which a life-threatening head injury would not be expected.
TYPE OF MATERIAL DEPTH OF SURFACING MATERIAL
150mm 225mm 300mm
Double Shredded Bark Mulch
Wood Chips
Fine Sand
Fine Gravel
1800 3000 3300
1800 2100 3600
1500 1500 2700
1800 2100 3000
However, it should be recognised that all injuries due to falls cannot be prevented, no matter what
surfacing material is used.
It is recommended that a shock absorbing material extend a minimum of 1800mm in all directions
from the perimeter of stationary equipment such as climbing frames and slides. However, because
children may deliberately jump from a moving swing, the shock absorbing material should extend
in the front and rear of a swing a minimum distance of twice the height of the pivot point measured
from a point directly beneath the pivot on the supporting structure.
This information is intended to assist in comparing the relative shock-absorbing properties of
various materials. No particular material is recommended over another. However, each material is
only effective when properly maintained. Materials should be checked periodically and replenished
to maintain correct depth as determined necessary for the equipment in question. The choice of
a material depends on the type and height of the playground equipment, the availability of the
material in a particular area, and its cost.

WOOD ADVICE
III. WOOD ADVICE
Our products are manufactured from premium timber. Great care is taken in selecting, machining, and
treating the timber before it is sold to you.
Bear in mind that timber is a natural product and may experience changes throughout the course of its
life. It may:
1. Inspect wood parts monthly. The grain of the wood sometimes will lift in dry periods causing
splinters to appear. Light sanding may be necessary to maintain a safe environment. Treating
your product with protection (sealant) after sanding will help prevent severe checking/splitting
and other weather damage.
• Develop opening/checks (splits, gaps, slits, apertures, cracks) along the line of the grain due to
moisture & temperature changes.
• Colour fades as the timber reacts with sunlight.
2. We have applied a waterborne translucent stain to your unit. This is done for colour only. Once
or twice a year, depending on your climate conditions, you must apply some type of
protection (sealant) to the wood of your unit. Prior to the application of sealant, lightly
sand any “rough” spots on your set. Please note this is a requirement of your warranty.
MORE INFORMATION ON WOOD SPLITS
Each Lifespan Kids Timber Play Equipment is designed and built with tolerances to account for wood
splits. All timber components are dried, temperature treated, and specified to the right size to ensure
that the structural integrity of your play equipment will not be compromised from normal weathering.
Most wood splits will never become large enough to affect the reliability and strength of your play
equipment.
Please note that in dryer seasons, wood splits will appear more often, and often in wet seasons, you’ll
find that these wood splits will mostly disappear as the timber collects moisture and swells up. These are
normal cycles
In the unlikely event you feel that a part has a possible fault in the timber, please contact Lifespan Kids
immediately with pictures of the parts so they can be reviewed. Please refer to Page 15 to get in touch
with us.

14 MAINTENANCE
V. MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Please keep for future reference.
We recommend regular maintenance to be conducted at the beginning of each season as well as at
regular intervals during the usage session for your play equipment to ensure all main parts/fixings are
tightly secured, well-oiled and intact to avoid failure, injury or hazards.
GENERAL ADVICE
It is of particular importance that this is followed at the beginning of each season as well as at regular
intervals during the usage season.
• Check the accessories monthly as well as the play equipment’s structure to prevent falling risks.
• Check and retighten screws, bolts, and all other hardware elements as necessary.
a. Do not over tighten to avoid damaging the thread or cracking the surrounding wood.
• Check all coverings and bolts for sharp edges and replace when required.
• Lubricate all moving metallic parts.
• When signs of oxidation and / or rust appear on various metallic parts of your equipment,
sand rusted areas and tubular members and repaint using a non-lead-based paint
when required.
• Where applicable: check swing seats, chains, ropes, and other means of attachment for
evidence of deterioration.
• Replace when required in accordance with the owner’s manual.
If your play structure is disassembled, be sure to clearly mark any attached metal plates to prevent
accidents. Check all bolt covers and sharp edges and replace them if necessary.
